82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

Some players don’t necessarily have to be specialists in one particular position. Their flexibility and intelligence can still make them indispensable to the team, especially when it is one like ours, where we have to keep making tactical and positional changes during games. There are technical aspects of his game that he needs to improve, but he’ll be in the squad and team for years to come, so plenty of time for that.

Age isn’t taken into account at all. Walker is either as quick as he was or he isn’t. Saying play Walker because he was quicker a year or two ago is just daft.Subs getting up to speed is with the game ,not in a straight foot race which 2 years ago Walker would have stayed with Traore. Lewis for most games is a better fit for the team than Walker, especially with Rodri out,and will probably start more.

What a numbskull argument!

Firstly, I said Walker is STILL faster than Lewis. The implication of this is in prior posts as is the assertion that Lewis will NOT improve his speed, nor is a RB; a position you want him inserted into.

You are conflating the ability to play certain positions adequately as positions of preference or strength.

Walker likes to play CB, but in my opinion, it's not his strength. Lewis is a MF and RB is not his strength.

Posters need to stop the conflating nonsense.
